Hands-On With The Impressive Titoni Seascoper 300 Chronograph

I am no stranger to Titoni, particularly its Seascoper line of divers. I have enjoyed reviewing various Seascoper models over time, from the regular stainless steel to the two-tone Seascoper 300 models to the stealthy black carbon Seascoper 600. For this review, I had a chance to try out something new within the Seascoper collection. […] Visit Hands-On With The Impressive Titoni Seascoper 300 Chronograph to read the full article.

Hands-On With The Rubber MoonSwatch Strap On My Mission To Saturn

Whenever I see a MoonSwatch in the wild, and there are many of them, it’s likely no longer on its original strap. Many people have changed it out for something more comfortable, like a rubber or textile strap. I also wear my MoonSwatch on an aftermarket strap, because even though it’s easy to adjust, the […] Visit Hands-On With The Rubber MoonSwatch Strap On My Mission To Saturn to read the full article.

There is just something inherently different about a Rolex Day-Date. Putting the brand’s top-of-the-line model on your wrist isn’t quite like wearing a gold Daytona or GMT-Master. Why? The obvious answer would be that it’s not a sports watch like the other two. But that’s too easy.
